Didn't rush to get moving this morning, when we were both dressed Tina took me out to Deans Garden Centre and also Irton Garden Centre. I got the basket of plants for Christmas and wanted to buy pots to re-pot them. Didn't actually buy them at Deans but Tina spotted this lovely primula.
We didn't buy any plants or bulbs as we don't know how much longer we will be here, so wouldn't get to see them that much probably. We did have a cheese scone and a cup of tea which was very enjoyable. Irton is much bigger and has such a lot of reduced Christmas decorations. I have never seen a Christmas pig before, so this little fellow was a must!
I got four pots and plastic flower pots to go inside. they are white and textured and attractive.
I have got the plants off into their new homes this afternoon.
The skies are looking lovely again at the moment, further round in the winter so I don't get such a good view of them.
I decided to finish the countries in the jigsaw, may not have been my wisest move as I now have two or three hundred blue pieces to fit in!
I was using the daylight lamp this evening but will try to do some in proper daylight tomorrow.

  1. Always nice to have a trip out and Deans and Irton are good places to go. Do nice scones too :-) You were very good not buying plants, but it does make sense really. Not that that usually stops you! Sorry, couldn't resist that.
    The potted up plants look really nice, and the pig was a definite thing to buy. I'd have been very surprised if you'd have made it out the shop without it!
    Good luck with the map, you'll need it :-)
    As you can see from the time, I couldn't sleep.
